Take a Seat with Knoll & LALA at WestEdge

We’re pleased to announce our partnership with Knoll and LALA Magazine to auction 15 one-of-a-kind Bertoia chairs during the 2018 WestEdge Design Fair with all proceeds from the auction benefiting Safe Place for Youth (SPY).

For the partnership titled “Take a Seat”, WestEdge, Knoll and LALA Magazine invited 15 leading architects, designers and tastemakers to create one-of-a-kind art pieces using the brand’s iconic, and recently reissued, Knoll Bertoia Molded Shell Chair as a canvas. These pieces will be unveiled during the fair’s Opening Night Party on October 18th, at the Barker Hangar, 3021 Airport Avenue, in Santa Monica, CA.

“Safe Place for Youth is a community-based organization that aids homeless youth and we’re pleased to support their cause and help build awareness. “We are so thrilled to have Knoll and LALA Magazine helping this effort and are confident that the Knoll auction will be well supported by our audience, thereby helping to generate such crucial funds for SPY members,” states Megan Reilly, Co-Founder and Principal of WestEdge.

Participating artists, architects and designers include: Cesar Giraldo, Gensler, Shimoda Design Group, Ruben Rojas, Terry Crews, Safe Place for Youth (SPY), Timothy Yarger Fine Art, Hanson LA, Erinn Valencich, Tracy Hiner (Black Crow Studios) and Doug Schwartz (DETROITWICK) for The Caliber Foundation, Art Center College, Katrien Van Der Schueren, Clair Vanders, Nolen Niu, and Carrie Livingston.
